This Governments Has Not Been Asked to De-
mand the Return OF McGaricle.
Washington Special
The State Department, notwithstanding
number of rumors to the contrary, has not re-
celved any application from the authorities of
the State of Illinois for the extradition of Nc
Garigle, the escaped Chicago boooler. and if the
application, when it shall be received. is to be
based upon tho claim that McGarigle shall be
extradited on the ground of comfy, is alleged,
there cannot be much doubt to the action of
the State Department. 1t has very rarely hap
pened that the United States has asked
cepted the extradition of any criminal the
ground of comfy. Once only under this admin
istration has a criminal been extradited by any
foreign government on that ground at
the request of the United States. In
liar Early in the administration Japan
surrendered fugitive from justice TO the United
listing treaty. But treaty then pending
between the United States and Japan which the
latter government much wished to have ratified,
and which since that time has been ratified. and
doubtless aid to SECURE the ratification of
the treaty by the Senate of the United States the
Japanese government surrendered the fugitive
But the United States gov ernmeDt at the same
time gave the authorities of Japan to understand
that if the then pending treaty should fail the
United States wouid not be able to reciprocate
If at any time Japan should ask for the extradi-
ton of any persons for reasons of comfy. There
one noted case of the surrender TO the United
States of fugitive from justice the ground
of comfy. This was the surrender of Boss Tweed
by Spain. But" said official of the state
department familiar with the law and the usage
of the department. in this regard, ''the United
States even then informed Spain, that in
cepting the return of Tweed it was not to be
understood that the United States, in the alb
sence of treaty stipulation, would agree to
turn Spanish fugitive act OF comfy. But
Tweed was such notorious criminal that no
country wanted him. He was regarded po-
liIcal leper, and Spain was pleased to be able to
exercise it's arbitrary power to surrender him.
The power which the Spanish government ex-
ercised in surrendernc Tweed in the absence of
q treaty is power which the United States does
not possess In Spain the question was simply
the will of the crown and file of soldiers. In
this country there are the courts of the States
and of the United States, and in both there is

Germany's Emperor Gives Evidence of Par
tial Recovery from His Illness.
BERLIN, Aug 27.-The best OF proof of the full
restoration of the Emperor's health was his ap-
pearance at Potsdam yesterday at the manoeu-
of the cavalry division OF the Guards. The
Emperor watched the evolutions from an open
carriage, wearing a helmet instead of an undress
cap the of which is a certain sign that he is
ailing. He remained at Potsdam two hours, and
when he returned to Babelsburg he was cheered
by the crowd. Preparations are being made for
the Emeror's reception at the k9nigsberg
maneuvres great pavilion is being built of
woods 1t will be lined with tapestry and will
be divided into two compartments one for the
Emperor and the other for his suite. DR.. Won
Puttkamer. Gen. Won Schellendorf and Gen.
Won Moltke and Waldenze will attend at the
maneuvres. The reports are now more credited
that the occasion will be sgnaized by meet
ing between the Gar and Emperor William.

An Appointment That Fills the Scion sists

An Appointment That Fills the Scientists
with Uncontrollable Hilarity.
Washington Special.
The appointment of Judge McCue the present
Solicitor of the Treasury, as Commissioner of Fish
and Fisheries, is q great surprise AT the Smith
sonian Institution, whore a few scientists were
gathered this afternoon, the report was at first
received with incredulity, and then with great
hiIarity. Judge McCue is one OF the very best
officials under the present administration, and a
lawyer of acknowledged ability, but his fitness
to succeed Professor Baird in a scientific work Is
open TO doubt.
The law authorizing the appointment of such
an officer is an exceptional one. The duties of
the Office ito prosecute Investigations on
the subject OF the diminuton OF valuable
fishes with the view of ascertaining whether
any and what Giminuton in the number os food
fishes of the coast and the lakes of the United
States has taken place, and if so, to what
causes the same is due and also whether any
and what pr elective, prohihirory precaution-
ary measures should be adopted in the prem
ises. and to report upon the same to Congress"
The President was restricted in his selection
OF a commissioner TO some person who is civil
officer OF the government, of proved scientific
and practical Acquaintance with the fishes of the
coast, to serve without additional salary. This
last provision of the law practically shut out
from appointment any of Mr.. Baird's assistants
in the fishery business, because they not

templated by the act. The Assistant Commis-
soner of Fisheries is Mr.. T. B. Feguson. who is
in charge of the fisheries at Havre de Grace,
Nd, and is paid salary of So 600 year out OF
the appropriation of 1920, 600 which Congress
has annually placed at the disposal of Professor
Baird.
Solicitor McCue is not scientist aud tho ex-
tent of his piscatorial knowledge is probably
limited to the kind of bait laid in by most fancy
fishermen. The Presidents reasons for making
the selection therefore s subject of discus
sion By some it is claimed that the restrictions
of the law are such that the President had TO
appoint some welknown official who could af-
ford to attend to the requirements of his
position without additional salary. Judge McCue
is a very wealthy man, and in this respect he is
better suited to the place than most Democrats

that JudRs McCue comes from Brooklyn and ha

Fears That Figures May BE JugEIed In Other
than Tobacco Estimates.
Washington Special.
1t is considered quite extraordinary that Sta
tistican Dodge should have made such loose
estimate in regard to the tobacco acreage as he
now confesses that he did. After being con-
fronted by the Kentucky tobacco men the other
day, ne came down from the pedestal of infal-
libility which he at first occupied, and admitted
that the reports which his correspondents had
sent him gave an acreage of only So per cent, of
that OF 1886. but that Gin view of the results of
q long experience of the tendency to underesti-
mate acreage" he had taken the liberty OF
changing the figures to IS per cent. on his owr
responsibility. This confession, it must be said,
has tendency to weaken public confidence in
the governments statistics generally. Statistics
are good for nothing unless they accurate.
Truth and accuracy are their very life and
soul. 1t would be interesting, and at the same
time rather disconcerting, to find that the gov
ernment statisticans we're in the habit of guess
ing a. their figures and altering than to suit
their own private opinion, az Mr.. Dodge added
25 per cent to the tobacco figures in lump.
Then, too. the action of Mr.. Dodge tends to dis
credit tne governments statistics still further by
thrc wing doubt on the trustworthiness of the
governments correspondents If those who fur
nisb tobacco figures to the government so
incapable that the officials feel obliged to alter
their returns at such rate, why may it not be
